Vista - Windows Update Error - kb955430

Hello,

I have Windows Vista 64 Bit and an update always fail:
kb955430

Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Thanks,
Miguel

Do you have SP1 installed ? KB955430 is a prquel for SP2

My computer has 2 months and came with Vista 64 Bit Sp1.

Since then I have been doing all automatic updates.

How can I see if I have Vista SP2?

And is there Vista SP2 already?

Thanks,
Miguel

If you right-click 'My Computer' you can select properties which will show you what OS + Service pack you are currently running.

Hope this helps

Hi, I guess the update hangs at about 90% and you have to kill the task.

If so, is it reading

C:\Windows\servicing\Version\6.0.6001.18000 indefinitely?
Do you have an add-remove entry for Vista SP1? (My PC came preinstalled with SP1, & I'm beginning to guess this problem is related to that, & this folder.
So:
"If you have Vista SP1, which you installed (rather than the manufacturer) I'd be really grateful if you could send me a copy of the content of that folder..
C:\Windows\servicing\Version\6.0.6001.18000" please...!!

Just download SP2 standalone version -it only require SP1 installed.SP2 from Microsoft Download Center Download available for Standalone Vista SP2
don't require this hotfix

Thanks for the reply, but - guess what- MS already suggested that..

and .. guess what..

the first thing it tries to install is..

yes..

KB955430 which... wait for it.. fails as before..

Hmm, is that because an earlier attempt to install it failed?

How can one remove a pending failed update?

Shutdown shows 'Install updates and shut down' as a result of KB955430..

Thanks..!

Would still love a copy of the folder..

Don't install KB955430 only install SP2 standalone version I gave you link to that!When you will have installed SP2,KB955430 will never appear in Windows Update

Hi, thanks again, alas, I didn't make myself clear-sorry:

In attempting to install SP2, as per the download you gave, it tries to install KB955430.

I have no control over that- it just is.. unless the pack has some command line params, say..

Because SP2 standalone include this hotfix.If you still have trouble with installing SP2 try install it in safe mode..
